I am new to X, and am running it under ISC386 UNIX. I have their latest version, 1.1 which is based on R3. I just compiled R4 using the att.cf config which went fine (with a few minor tweeks because of having non-interlan networking), but cannot run any of the clients. They all come up with the error message: Error: Can't Open display Does this just mean the R4 clients just can't run under a R3 server, or is there something obvious I have missed? Email would probably be best, and I will summarize. -randy -- Randy Suess randy@chinet.chi.il.us

I'm afraid I don't know anything about the ISC software, in particular what
their IPC connection mechanism is. I do know that R4 "out of the box" works
fine with AT&T's XWIN server on the 6386 WGS, which is either R2 or R3 based.
Did a vanilla MIT R3 Xlib work? If ISC has UNIX domain sockets, or TCP
sockets, then perhaps you failed to set -DUNIXCONN or -DTCPCONN in the
ConnectionFlags configuration parameter?
